For me, two big hurdles to initally getting good shaves were skimping on product (soap or cream) and the time to build a proper lather. This is where tutorial videos like yours are helpful, Joe.

skimping on soap was a biggy for me..you know so it will last longer..

This photo got a huge smile from me and Kathy this morning. Some of my best moments are at the hospital holding sleeping babies. There is nothing like it, except possibly holding your own grandson. I can't wait to volunteer again. There are kids in the hospital that have nobody to visit them. That breaks my heart. The hospital actually has "machines" to rock the babies in the absence of visitors. I love rescuing them out of those contraptions.

Please keep the wonderful photos coming, Danny.

My love of the L' Orange Noir (scent and quality) is well known, but I'm wondering how close it is to the TdH, Joseph? Do you have both TdH versions as well?

I understand Joe. I spent anywhere from 40-140 hours a school year as a Watch D.O.G.S. volunteer dad while our two were in elementary and middle school. Can't count the number of field trips I went on, from ES to HS, even a few lengthy band excursions around Texas as they competed. Some of the Watch D.O.G.S. time was in class with my own children, but a lot of it is in other classes being a male role model, a couple kids started asking for me every time I volunteered, even got calls to come in to sit/read/chat with them when things were rough for them.

Most kids do better in person absolutely. Our 11th grader has been 100% virtual since March. She really likes it, is equaling her grades when she was 100% in person. Our oldest, a senior....is in person for band, everything else virtual. She struggles a little, usually from a procrastination standpoint, but gets it resolved by the deadlines. It's been kind of a downer year for her, being a senior as well as a very active band person....really sucks in this environment.

Thanks, Joe. The face feel of this Frankenlime (and the other Maol splash I have) are really as good as it gets. Superior skin softness that lasts for several hours. The scent? Meh. Just ok. Not unpleasant, but behind a few other citrus forward splashes I own for sure. Unique, though. As is Heliopteris.

awesome Charlie..i loved mine when they were that young..when they were tweens and teens..not so much..

Great looking shave Joe.

Very nice Gary

Love the ghost razor Danny

Just beautiful Joseph. I am so going to have to get some TdH

Thank you,Joe.

Only have the parfum, so I cannot make a comparison.

It is a classic scent, mos def©
Have a great day, Clint.

Been shaving with Proraso Green recently. Just a couple of swirls and the brush is sufficiently loaded. Great soap!

Great shave, Matt! Proraso is great stuff! I have their Green cream and their C.O. Bigelow cream.

Thanks, Jeff! Aren't those two the same thing?

awesome Matt..fine stuff..

Super shave Joe. I will give you a pass on the focus if you want to do an experiment using the R41.

Thanks, Gary, fine stuff indeed

Super shave with a ghost of a razor. Looking forward to next week's mini focus.
